My goodness.... thank you for the compliment! Pre-drafting is my best friend for spindling... that and reading "Respect the Spindle" by Abby Franquemont. The tip on accelerating the spindle by rolling it along my thigh has increased my speed tremendously! I also learned to try different spindles... I do my best work on relatively heavy ones. The clunky old Louets that I got for a demo do a darn good job, but my favorite is my Kundert.
